Heritage Manor News: Observing Palm Sunday

Sunday, March 29, is Palm Sunday. This is the beginning of Holy Week leading up to Easter Sunday. The word holy means set apart, unique or one of a kind. Holy Week for Christians is to be observed as a time that is set apart from all other weeks of the year. It begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Holy Saturday, April 4. This week is a time of fasting, prayer and repentance. Good Friday is the day of remembrance of great sorrow that Jesus was brutally executed by the Romans. Holy Saturday is a solemn day to reflect on the suffering and death of Jesus.
Our Easter Week activities include jingo for prizes, egg dyeing with the Cajunettes, Good Friday Way of the Cross and bunny bingo.
Other activities include Come Lord Jesus group, pokeno, group exercise, in-room visits, happy hour, manicures, arts and crafts and card games.
We thank our friends and volunteers that assisted us throughout the year, keeping our residents happy. We look forward to seeing all active volunteers at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Supper on Tuesday, April 14. If you would like to begin volunteering, please give us a call or come by for more information.
